Deep Rock Galactic Joins Fortnite’s Growing Roster of Crossovers

What to know

• A Deep Rock Galactic crossover skin arrives this Friday.
• Recent collabs include Gorillaz, Squid Game, One Punch Man, Halo, and Power Rangers.
• Chapter 6 Season 4: Shock and Awesome centers on a bug-invasion theme.
• No crossover with Helldivers 2, despite fan speculation.

Fortnite just teased an unexpected crossover: a towering space dwarf from Deep Rock Galactic. The skin drops this Friday at the standard 5 PM PT item shop reset. While details are light, fans expect it to come with themed cosmetics like a pickaxe or back bling.

What makes this crossover surprising is that Deep Rock Galactic isn’t even on the Epic Games Store, making it one of the few game-to-game collaborations that doesn’t double as promotion.

Collabs stacking up: Gorillaz, Squid Game, and anime

This week has been one of Fortnite’s busiest for collaborations. Skins inspired by Gorillaz, Squid Game’s Front Man, and anime hit One Punch Man rolled out earlier in the week, followed almost immediately by the dwarf teaser.

Meanwhile, Fortnite Festival hosted a Gorillaz pop-up event in London featuring gaming stations, live music, and giveaways—a reminder that Epic is blending in-game content with real-world fan experiences.

Halo and Power Rangers power up Season 4

Chapter 6 Season 4, called Shock and Awesome, went live on August 7 and set the stage with an alien bug-invasion theme. Alongside it came two big-ticket crossovers:

• Halo: Spartans landed in the Battle Pass as unlockable skins.
• Power Rangers: A nostalgic bundle including multiple Ranger suits, Tommy Oliver as the Green Ranger, the Megazord as a mid-season skin, and even the classic theme song. A live-action trailer, shot in old-school tokusatsu style, added to the hype.

The Helldivers 2 confusion

When Fortnite revealed its bug enemies this season, many fans immediately spotted their resemblance to Helldivers 2’s Terminids. But Epic confirmed there’s no official collaboration here—just coincidental design similarities. The Helldivers 2 developers even joked that it looked like “Helldivers at home,” taking the homage in stride.

Wrapping up

Epic is throwing everything at Fortnite this season: anime, rock icons, classic TV heroes, and now a miner from deep space. The Deep Rock Galactic crossover might be the most unexpected yet, proving Fortnite’s ability to keep surprising players while keeping the game’s cultural mix ever-expanding.
